Match Report
Napoli score three after the break to beat Monza and end a poor run
Napoli won 4-1 at Monza on Wednesday night, turning a level game at half-time into a one-sided second half with three goals in 19 minutes. It came with head coach Max Allegri serving a touchline ban, so assistant Marco Landucci ran the bench.
Rasmus Højlund scored in the 10th minute, set up by Giovanni Di Lorenzo, his first goal in eight games. Gustavo Varela levelled with a header in the 43rd. Matteo Politano restored the lead in the 48th, picking off a Monza pass and finishing through a defender's legs. Rafa Marín headed in a Politano corner in the 62nd, and substitute Kevin De Bruyne rounded the goalkeeper in the 67th after a pass from Noa Lang.
There was a worry for the visitors. Stanislav Lobotka turned his ankle in the first half after Ricardo Mangas fell on him, and he was taken off on a stretcher and sent for X-rays.
Napoli had lost to Venezia and drawn with Roma before this. They now have 14 points, six off a Champions League place. Monza stay on 7.
